I got a wavetek meterman about 5 years ago, under $100.00 and it does the usual readings, inductance and capacitance from very small values to very large values, frequency to 15 Mhz, transistor tests, temp with a probe.
Not lab equipment but very usefull if you are going to be doing any building or home brewing, plus it comes in handy for non ham uses. There are plenty of cheaper meters that do quite a bit, do most people need lab equipment, or a meter you can drop from 50 feet? I never broke a meter, the rugedized ones are for techs that throw them into a work van. I have a fluke 87V in my work van, a well made expensive basic meter. Radio shack is generally poor quality at a high price, you can get great buys on line, or even ebay, or at a hamfest.
